53Auto BracketingBracketing is used to take a series of photographs of the same subject usinga variety of exposure values that “bracket” optimum value as determined by thecamera (or, in manual mode, by the photographer). This can be used to takemultiple shots of the same subject at different exposure settings withoutstopping to adjust exposure compensation manually. Up to three photographscan be taken at exposure settings varying from +2 to –2 EV (these values areadded to the value chosen for exposure compensation using the exposurecompensation function described on the previous pages). Bracketing can beused in any exposure mode.1 Holding down the BKT button (A), rotate the main command dial until BKTappears in the control panel on top of the camera (B). The indicator inthe viewfinder and in the control panel on top of the camera will blink.NoteA BA B2 Holding the BKT button down (A), rotate the sub-command dial to choosea bracketing program (B).
